Brass Bed With Allison Bohl - On Nilsson



Brass Bed and long-time collaborator Allison Bohl, decided to have a go on four of Harry’s songs. They created somewhat haunted versions of his songs. The songs "He's Large" and "He Needs Me" are from the live action Popeye movie (1980). 

It's nice but as an introduction to Harry Nilsson’s work, you would be better served by actually picking up one of Harry's records (Aerial Ballet or Nilsson Schmilsson preferably). Those interested in Brass Bed should check out his album "Melt White", pure McCartney pop.

Dean Torkington and James Brian Healless - The Bat Strikes Back


©2008 Artist Selfrelease EU.TBSBDEC08 MCPS
mp3 320 kbps

The album Meat Loaf should have made but didn't. Tribute act Dean Torkington and James Brian Healless did. Dean and James wrote all the tracks in the best Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman tradition.
The story of Dean Torkington is rather sad. Meat Loaf sued Dean in 2012 for using meatloaf.org. The domain had been in use by Dean for more than 10 years, but he lost the lawsuit. Dean wasn't a fan of Meat Loaf after that and continued as a Elthn John tribute act. Read it all here.
